Virginia Driving on a Revoked or Suspended License is one of the most serious traffic offenses one can be charged with in Virginia second only to Virginia DUI/DWI with a high blood alcohol content. This charge carries a real probability of jail time and most judges in northern Virginia will ask the defendant to secure an attorney if the defendant is unrepresented on the first court appearance.
The maximum penalty for a first offense is a jail sentence of 6 months, a $1,000 fine, and a license suspension for the same period for which it had been previously suspended (or up to 90 days if the suspension was indefinite).
